Giving Tuesday is an international day of giving that promotes giving to organizations and communities in need.

With your donation, ReSurge International can continue to impact the world by renewing the health of thousands of children and adults. Today, the need for timely and safe surgical care and training is enormous. Currently, 5 billion people in the world do not have access to surgery when needed. In low to-middle-income countries, 90% of people cannot access safe and timely surgical care (Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, 2015). ReSurge provided treatment to over 2,700 patients in the last year alone. LIPSG physicians support ReSurge by raising funds and volunteering on missions to provide life-changing surgical care.
